Jennifer Rothschild Show

What do you do when your relationship with your adult child isn't what you hoped it would be?
Maybe your child is struggling and you want to help, but your advice comes across as criticism. Maybe you disagree with their parenting choices, worry because they've walked away from the faith, or feel heartbroken because they've cut off contact altogether.
In this conversation, Dr. Kathy Koch offers biblical wisdom and practical help for navigating these complicated relationships.
You'll discover how your relationship with your children needs to change as they become adults, what heart posture to have toward them, and how to communicate in ways that build connection instead of conflict. Dr. Kathy also shares specific things to avoid saying when you're trying to coach an adult child, along with a few communication hacks to help you relate to them more effectively.
Whether you're frustrated, discouraged, or grieving a relationship that isn't what you thought it would be, this conversation will remind you that there is still hope—and that you can love your adult children well, even when the relationship is hard.

Elijah's story is filled with dramatic miracles, courageous faith, and unforgettable moments. But if you look a little closer, you'll find someone who isn't all that different from you!
He knew fear. He experienced exhaustion. He wrestled with discouragement. And in between the extraordinary moments, there were long seasons of ordinary, faithful obedience.
So in this first episode of the Jennifer Rothschild Show, best-selling author Max Lucado joins me to explore what Elijah's life can teach us about facing fear with faith, praying boldly, and trusting God through both the extraordinary and the ordinary.
You'll discover what courage really is (and what it isn't), why the power of prayer has always been in the God who hears us—not the one who prays—and how to live with an expectation of divine disruption while faithfully serving God in the everyday. Because the same God who strengthened Elijah is faithful to strengthen you too… no matter what season you're in!

Last week, KC caught me off guard with a series of thoughtful questions I never saw coming. Well... we're back with Part 2!
In this episode, our conversation continues as KC asks who I really am when the microphone is off, what might surprise you about my walk with God, whether I'm really as confident as I seem, which biblical figure I'd most want to share a cup of coffee with, and the one thing I hope every listener knows about God.
By the end of our conversation, I was reminded how valuable it is to simply sit down with someone over a cup of coffee and ask meaningful questions. Because the more we learn about each other, the more we learn about ourselves—and ultimately, the more we learn about God.
So after you listen, I hope you'll do just that. Grab a friend, pour a cup of coffee, and maybe even borrow a few of KC's questions. You never know what you might discover!

I get asked questions all the time, but I was caught off guard when KC turned the mic back on and started asking some thoughtful (and surprising!) questions… about ME!
I had no idea what was coming, and honestly, I didn't even know some of my own answers until I said them out loud. But it was so much fun that I thought you might enjoy listening in.
In Part 1 of our conversation, KC asked about my best life hack of all time, what people often assume about me that's completely wrong, who has shaped my faith more than anyone else, and what I hope every woman remembers long after she reads one of my books or attends one of my events.
But that's not all… KC had plenty more questions, and we just couldn't fit them all into one episode! 
So be sure to join me next week for Part 2, where we talk about who I am when the microphone is off, what might surprise you about my walk with God, whether I'm really as confident as I seem, and the one thing I hope every listener knows about God.
